Pros

Forward-thinking leadership team (except for IT). Great people to work with except for IT management. Generous budget for IT. New CIO should make a big difference.

Cons

IT management not clear about their overall mission, leading to confusion and wasted resources. Management takes credit for victories, points fingers for problems.

Pros

Excellent training program Good pay Opportunities for advancement You get to know your patients very well & look forward to seeing them

Cons

Too cheesy for words! Required verbage: we are not a facility, or office. We are "a Village". GAMES are required... To be played during the workday, in front of the patients!!!". You're not allowed to say "Merry Christmas" to a pt, even if they say it to you. First; you must reply "Happy Holidays." The setting is one room, the patients are sitting all around you, and my very immature boss was staring at me thru a glass window, making faces, which was part of his jOB of forced fun in the workplace. Beyond micromanaging- if they could control my thoughts (they tried very hard), they would have! Even the "parties" were required, outside of business hours. No flexibility at all for time off! I was very excited to be hired because I had wanted to learn dialysis, for years. I made a fast U-turn out of there, after 3 months. Immediately after leaving, I bumped into a consultant they hired to help their managers- she said they had a 70% turnover rate!!
